Knorr Noodles Boriyat Busters

Knorr Noodles built itself on a ‘fun and adventure’ based positioning. All communications have focused on highlighting Knorr as a fun filled snack with its animated characters.Given the competitive heat around our differentiated positioning, simultaneously evolving media and entertainment landscape it was imperative that we take a leap in the way we communicate. We needed to come up with a new way of communication to reinforce and further strengthen Knorr Noodles’.We developed a platform which could take over as the natural evolution from Knorr’s original stand point of eliminating boredom.

Income: The Best Gift (from the worst parents in the world)

Branded content is hard to define. But it’s intent is clear - reach people at scale who are in an engaged state of mind and therefore more receptive to brand messages. This is exactly what Income did. With a topic that hit the nerve of society - should your child be your retirement plan? - Income shocked, surprised and made Singaporeans cry with a 5min branded content film. And with a strategy to earn coverage, fuel sharing, and drive people through the funnel, Income grew life insurance sales by 13% with declining SOV.

Putting the Care back in Eye Care

In recent years the eye care category has been overtaken by big brands shouting discounts and deals, which makes them all seem the same. People who take care of their eyes seriously ignore the noise, instead choosing doctors who seem trustworthy: the local and independent ones in their community. Pearle Vision was being (unfairly) grouped with big national chains even though they really are local providers. By re-dedicating the brand to premium eyecare instead of touting deals, we became the most trusted brand in the category and greatly exceeded goals.
